Teleflex Updates Earnings Outlook And Revises Full Year Guidance

Limerick, PA — Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) today announced that earnings per share for the company’s second quarter ended June 27, 2004 are expected to be in the range of 83 to 85 cents per share. For the full year, the company now anticipates earnings will be in the range of $2.90 to $3.00 which is lower than the company’s previous guidance of $3.10 to $3.20.

     For the quarter, total revenues will grow to an estimated $660 million, a 14 percent increase compared to second quarter of the prior year. At the same time, operating profit for the quarter will be relatively flat compared to the prior year. Commercial Segment operating profit for the quarter was negatively impacted as the result of increased price pressure and higher than expected production costs in the Automotive product line. The Marine and Industrial product lines delivered strong performances in the quarter. Aerospace Segment operating profit declined, in part due to higher than expected costs related to the transfer of operations following a facility closure and the phasing out of construction services in the Industrial Gas Turbine Services product line. The Medical Segment experienced a similar growth rate in the quarter to that of the first quarter 2004.

     For the full year, the company now anticipates that the Automotive product line will be impacted by both reduced volume in North America resulting from a revised demand forecast for adjustable pedal systems and increases in raw material and other production costs that are likely to continue in the second half of the year.

     Teleflex will release its second quarter 2004 earnings results in a press release on Wednesday, July 14, 2004 after market close and will hold a conference call to discuss the quarter’s results on Thursday, July 15, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).
